CONCEPT

At the intersection of history, myth, and materiality, Echoes of the Infinite is a sculptural installation that invites viewers into a spatial meditation on time, where stone holds memory, and the infinite cycles of transformation echo across generations. Composed of three distinct sculptures, the installation appears as a singular monumental form when viewed from specific angles, evoking the visual alignment and harmony of the pyramids. From other perspectives, the assembly reveals its complexity—an interplay of form, void, shadow, and light that shifts with the viewer’s movement. Crafted with SolidNature from marble, onyx, sandstone, and other mineral-rich stones, the surfaces alternate between raw textures and polished planes, exposing vivid colour, intricate veining, and natural inlays. Motifs of the blue lotus, Milky Way, and scarab are embedded into the forms, referencing renewal, cosmic navigation, and eternal cycles. These symbols, combined with the organic materiality of the stones, reflect the Egyptian concept of Ma’at: balance, order, and the sacred rhythms of nature. The installation’s triangular formation mirrors the pyramids’ arrangement, inviting reflection not through literal passage, but through perceptual shifts. As viewers move around and between the forms, they experience how solid matter can be both monumental and fluid, unified and multiple, grounded and celestial. Echoes of the Infinite challenges the notion of permanence as static. It asks us to consider how stories, ours and those of civilizations past, are layered into material, remembered by the earth, and continuously reshaped by time and perspective.
